It's too much pressure. You have to think match by match and moment by moment or it drives you to distraction. I'm tired of all the talk about it.

I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again, and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.
Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
Wow, I wish I could have done something like that.” That’s the thing, with other filmmakers, if I like them I just feel admiration.

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best.

The NFL has done a great job in giving players information on how to go to a second career after football and how to invest their money while they're playing to ensure when their career is over, that they have something else in place to fall back on.

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong.

My worlds are completely different. Painting is a peaceful world, and it's a different vibe than having a great match. You are able to look back at what you created when you finish.

That's actually very similar to trying to tell a story in a wrestling match.
I think I will always stay involved in tennis and would like to give back by helping out young players. I have done a little commentary and may one day enjoy doing that again.
